Mr. R.’s World of Math

A friendly girl named Mary-Moo,
Found 2 doggies near the zoo!

Mary took the 2 dogs home,
Gave them paint and a bone…

Mary left both dogs at home,
And once they found themselves alone,
They painted through the day and night,
Now her house is such a sight!
With 4 paws each,


Those dogs did paint,
With 4 paws each,
And no restraint,
They painted high,
They painted low,
Her house did nothing, except to glow!
Returning home,
She screamed, “Oh no!”
My house looks like a huge rainbow…

If each of the dogs had 4 paws,
how many paws did Mary-Moo’s two dogs have together?
